§ Lord C. BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what were the actual questions or suggestions addressed by the War Office to the Admiralty which called forth the notes supplied by the Admiralty for the use of the War Office in the Debate that was to have taken place in November, 1910, in the House of Lords; whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the correspondence between the two Departments which inspired those notes and led up to their publication; and why are the First Sea Lord's initial omitted from the official copy of the notes as presented to Parliament on 27th February, 1911?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt is not desirable to communicate information as to the informal communications that take place between Departments as to the action to be taken in discussions in Parliament. There is no correspondence to be laid upon the Table. The initials were omitted for the reason given yesterday.
